Environment

The product is intended to be used in greenhouses and climate rooms. The product is suitable for indoor wet environments. This product may not be used outdoors. This luminaire is suitable for operation in an ambient not exceeding 50°C. This should be the maximum sustained temperature of the installed environment (ambient temperature) that will ensure safe operation of the lighting equipment. To prevent sustained temperatures above a 50°C ambient a mechanical ventilation or cooling system is required to maintain the temperature within the growing space at or below 50°C when the luminaire is in operation.
Legal
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Caution! Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for FCC compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. Conforms to ANSI/UL 1598 and Certified to CSA C22.2 No. 250.0 and ANSI/CAN/UL 8800.

Safety recommendations and warnings

Warning! Carefully read the warnings below before using or working with the product!

• Always adhere to the local rules and regulations when installing or using the LED fixture.
• Do not open or disassemble the LED fixture, it contains no serviceable parts inside. Opening or modifying the LED fixture can be dangerous and will void the warranty.
• This product may cause interference to radio equipment and should not be installed near maritime safety communications equipment or other critical navigation or communication equipment operating between 0.45 – 30 MHz.
• Do not use the LED fixture when either the LED fixture or its power cord are damaged. Replace the power cord only with original certified cords.
• Modifications to the cords can lead to unwanted electromagnetic effects, which makes the product not comply with legal requirements.
• Do not expose the LED fixture to:
• (ambient) temperatures outside the specified range;
• dust and contamination;
• direct sunlight during use or other heat source that could heat up the driver.
• Always disconnect the LED fixture from mains before performing any maintenance.
• Always allow for a cool down period of at least 30 minutes before touching the LED rails. Touching the LED rails when the fixture is lit or immediately afterwards can result in severe burns!
• Do not use the LED fixture near flammable, explosive or reactive substances. Do not use sulfur vaporizers or water misters.
• The installation and use of the LED fixture is the responsibility of the end user. Incorrect use or installation can lead to failure and damage to the LED fixture. Damage to the LED fixture and electronic circuitry as a result of incorrect installation and use voids the warranty.

• Warning! Do not connect or disconnect the LED fixture under load.

Installation preparations

• Warning! Mount the system to something that can hold the weight of the LED fixture.
• Switch off mains power.
• Install the Gavita Rail System Hanging Bracket (fig. 3) (sold separately). Or install the Wire Hangers (fig. 1B).
• Make sure power cords:

1. Are not concealed or extended through a wall, floor, ceiling, or other parts of the building structures
2. Are not located above a suspended ceiling or dropped ceiling.
3. Are not permanently affixed to the building structure.
4. Are routed so that they are not subject to strain and are protected from physical damage.
5. Are visible over their entire length.
6. Are used within their rated ampacity as determined for the maximum temperature of the installed environment specified in the instructions.

Installing the LED fixture

The Gavita Pro RS 2400e offers multiple mounting points for increased versatility. When using the Gavita Rail System Hanging Bracket (fig. 3) (sold separately), use the innermost mounting point (fig. 4A). If utilizing Sungrips ratchet style rope hangers, included mounting hardware, or hanging from a single point; utilize the outermost mounting point (fig. 4B). Note: when mounting from a single point, utilizing the outermost mounting points will allow the fixture to completely unfold and remain flat.

• Hang the LED fixture to the mounting system.
• Distribute weight evenly and ensure the LED fixture is the appropriate distance above crop height (fig. 5).
• If using the LED fixture as a stand-alone device, continue to Section 7.4.
• If using the LED fixture with a Master Controller, continue to Section 7.3.
• To install additional LED fixtures, repeat sections 7.1 and 7.2 for each device.

Connecting up to 512 LED fixtures

• Remove the dummy plug from the input port on the first LED.
• Note: Keep the dummy in a safe place! The dummy is necessary to operate the LED fixture in standalone mode.
• Use the controller cable (RJ45 to RJ45) (fig. 6A) to connect the controller input port (fig. 6B) on the first LED.
• Remove the dummy from the input port on the second LED.
• Use interconnect cable (RJ45-RJ45) to connect the output port (fig. 6C) of the first LED fixture to the input port of the second LED fixture.
• Repeat these steps to connect up to 512 LED fixtures.
• Warning! Ensure the power cord and the controller cables do not touch any of the LED rails.

Connecting the LED fixture to the mains

• Warning! Make sure mains power is switched off.
• Warning! Ensure the cord is not coiled and does not touch any hot surfaces.
• Warning! Connect the cables according to local rules, safety regulations and electrical code.
• Warning! Ensure external switching gear can cope with the inrush current of the LED fixture (see section 3.2). Always use a double pole contactor suitable for switching a capacitive load. Never use household timers to switch the LED fixture!
• Connect the Wieland RST 16i5 female connector on the power cable to the Wieland RST16i5 male connector on the LED fixture (fig. 7).
• Connect the power cable to the mains (fig. 8). Ensure use of the appropriate power cord for the NEMA socket. Please reference section 3.3 for compatible power cords.
